The power of faith is powerful.

Yang Yun had felt that it was not a good way to always rely on force to conquer, and using this method that was close to religious control was indeed much more effective than simply using force.

Yang Yun finally knew why the Spaniards could conquer South American civilization with an army of only a few hundred people.

In dealing with these natives who resemble primitive people, you can't just use the means of war, as long as you mentally subdue your opponent and subdue their rulers, the indigenous people will naturally submit to it.

"Master, it seems that this trick is more effective than before, and you can use this hand to deal with other savages in the future."

Wu Yuan came with the team, it is the night of the Tang Dynasty, as long as Li Longji does not go to the Xuannu Temple, Wu Yuan can come out freely.

Yang Yun watched a bunch of people in Hula consciously come to the center of the field to accept enslavement, shook his head and said: "In fact, for them, no matter who rules them, they are all working anyway, in exchange for a living ration, this trick is very effective for the residents of the city-state, but if it is a tribe that maintains relations by blood, it is more practical to conquer by force." ”

Yang Yun knew that the group of people in front of him seemed to belong to the same city, but they belonged to different factions and forces, and there were great internal disputes.

In this way, it is suitable to subdue the way of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and if you change the small clan, it will not work so well.

In any case, the attack went very smoothly, and with only an "army" of 100 men, 20,000 or 30,000 natives were conquered.

In order to intimidate these natives, Yang Yun tied up all the members of the city's presbyterian church and hung them on a high platform, as if to declare that they had rebelled against the will of the gods and were punished by heaven, and used religion to intimidate the natives.

In order to settle these people as soon as possible and prevent them from rebelling, it was necessary to separate the women and children.

In primitive tribes, women and children were both the hope for the future of the tribe and their greatest wealth, and when women and children were controlled, the indigenous men had to weigh the price of doing so if they wanted to resist.

Xu Qi came over with two guards, looking at the natives who were looking forward to the black pressure below, these Tang soldiers led by Yang Yun were a little timid.

They weren't regular troops, they were brought in to fight on an improvised basis, and they didn't even know what the point of doing it was.

"If you bring so many people back to the camp...... What should they do if they make trouble? ”

Xu Qi didn't dare to bring people back to Camp No. 2, in fact, he didn't even know how Yang Yun brought people back.

He and his subordinates didn't know where they were, they were actually not much different from savages in front of Yang Yun, but they had accepted Wang Hua since they were children, and they could understand the meaning of what the other party said.

Yang Yun said: "If you don't bring them back, do you want to leave them here?" Isn't it true that the cultivation of farmland and mining are in need of manpower to serve as coolies? ”

"So many people...... Will it be ......"

Xu Qi wanted to say that the savages might rebel and make trouble.

Yang Yun is usually not in the camp, and these rebellions have little to do with Yang Yun, but they all live in the camp, and they have not had the opportunity to return to their hometown to visit their relatives until now, and they don't want to die in the riot of the savages.

"Rest assured, I have a way to rule them."

Yang Yun gave Xu Qi and others some confidence.

Yang Yun wants to continue to use religion to rule these people, and use a few hundred people from the Tang Dynasty to rule tens of thousands of indigenous people, the conventional method is indeed unrealistic, but if you build an altar in the camp and punish those who disobey with some miracles, you can avoid the appearance of riots to the greatest extent.

Now Yang Yun needs a large number of people to help him farm, mine and smelt, and at the same time make armor weapons to attack more tribes.

But the lack of language with these indigenous people is always a big problem.

……

……

Indigenous people began to migrate to the camp in batches through the "space gate".

There are not so many tents or wooden buildings in the camp, and even if the camp has been working overnight in recent days, it is unlikely that the camp will suddenly increase its capacity by more than 5,000 people.

In other words, some indigenous people want to stay in their original cities temporarily.

Now we need those people from the tribe who have been caught first to help manage it.

Because of the time when Yang Yun was captured, the Incas who joined the camp first had been living in the camp for more than a month.

Although the language barrier is not understood, the basic gestures and simple object names can already be communicated simply, and these people feel that they have found the right direction in life after receiving Yang Yun's preferential treatment.

Now Yang Yun has captured so many of their kind, and they are still "city people" with a higher status than them, so they can use these "hillbillies" to act as jailers.

A hundred indigenous aborigines were recruited in advance to assist Yang Yun in management, and they picked up weapons, not sharp iron tools, but some bronze and stone tools, and they had clothes made of linen, which were things that the indigenous people had never dared to think of before.

The Incas of this era were more likely to wear no clothes, and they slept at night to find some thatch to cover the cold, and the nobles were qualified to wear animal skins.

Now they are directly wearing the same clothes as the Tang people, although they feel a little awkward, but the warmth is very high, plus it can insulate the heat and prevent mosquito bites, so that they can walk much brisker, and they join the ranks of the jailers with weapons.

"Does the master want them to go to the city of the savages?"

Wu Yuan was puzzled by Yang Yun's way of managing the indigenous people.

Although they understand that Yang Yun is trying to raze and raze, but the indigenous people who can't even understand the words, can they really believe it?

Yang Yun smiled: "I just want them to help guard it, otherwise so many people can manage it?" ”

Yang Yun captured twenty or thirty thousand slaves at one time, and using indigenous people as administrators is actually a helpless choice, who makes people not have enough manpower?

Wu Yuandao: "We should still find a regular army to play a deterrent role." ”

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Who says it's not, but the premise is that I can mobilize the army of the Tang Dynasty...... It seems that in the near future, don't think about it. ”

No matter who it is, they all feel that Yang Yun wants to eat to become a fat man in one go.

The previous way of catching coolies was very good, and there were not many people who were caught, even if the number of natives in the camp was several times that of the Tang Dynasty immigrants, at least it could be managed.

Now there are hundreds of times more natives, and one person manages a hundred, which is a bit of nonsense.

But Yang Yun knows very well that in the history of human development, as long as there are weapons, let alone one to manage a hundred, even if it is one to manage a thousand or ten thousand, as long as the method is right, and the slaves are not allowed to resist, or use a stupid policy, or simply use religious beliefs like him.

Otherwise, how could the Chinese civilization have fallen into the hands of foreign Yi several times?

Even if there are more Huaxia people, they can't stand up to the fact that the soldiers are not as strong as the outsiders, and for ordinary people, everyone is eating, so they can't take care of resisting.

……

……

Yang Yun first captured 5,000 indigenous young men and men back to the camp.

In addition to relocating them a little, all that remains is for Jean to work and help build a new camp.

After a day, more wooden houses were erected, and although it was crowded, there was a place to stay.

"We should move to their city, maybe better." Wu Yuan has his own views on this.

Since the natives had their own cities, there was no need for Yang Yun to build new ones, even if the Incas' city defense was very low, it looked more formal than Camp 2.

Yang Yun said with a smile: "Is there any mineral deposit in their city and the surrounding area that I need?" ”

One sentence stunned Wu Yuanhe, and she only then realized that in fact, Yang Yun came here with all the hard work, not for alchemy, but to smelt metals, and at the same time to make a lot of things that Datang did not have, and ore was very important to Yang Yun.

Camp No. 2 is built on a high-quality iron mine, and there is also a large copper and saltpeter mine nearby, and three small mines have been completed by the immigrants and natives captured in the camp, and now they are going out to produce ore.

After the expansion and renovation of Camp 2, Yang Yun brought a second group of indigenous urban immigrants, this time again with men.

Some of them are young and middle-aged, and some are slightly old or sick.

Settle them in the newly established camps and let the natives who came first teach them how to keep the camps clean and hygienic and avoid major epidemics.

Yang Yun knew that the sanitary conditions in this era were very backward, not to mention that he was still working hard in the primitive American jungle area, where the climate was relatively humid and more prone to breeding infectious diseases.

Many ancient tribes in South America were wiped out precisely because they gathered too many people and they did not know how to prevent and treat infectious diseases, which is why it is more suitable for small tribes to survive in the Americas.

Now Yang Yun does not care too much in order to speed up the colonization process, but fortunately, Camp No. 2 is located in the eastern foothills of the Andes, where the four seasons are distinct, and now it is the winter and dry season, which can effectively curb the development of infectious diseases to a certain extent.

With some more effective propaganda and guidance, it will probably be able to cope with it for a while.

After two migrations, about 10,000 indigenous people have been relocated, and their wives, children, and family elders have been left in the original city.

Yang Yun will send people to manage the city, and the main task is to reclaim wasteland and grow rice brought from Datang, as well as corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes from South America, in an effort to become self-sufficient as soon as possible.

On this side, Yang Yun is preparing to continue to expand the No. 2 camp, expand it outward, and establish sub-cities.

With enough coolies, they were finally able to build the walls around it, and the brick kiln bricklayers had someone to help them, and various workshops could be built in the fastest time.

For Yang Yun, the colonization of the Americas has also entered the fast lane because of this adventure.

……

……

Yang Yun was busy in the Americas for a few days.

At this time, he has become the hottest figure in the Tang Dynasty, and many people want to come to see him, and even come to ask to see him, but he is turned away.

It wasn't until the evening of the fourth day that Yang Yun was promoted to Zhongshu Shilang that Zhang Jiuling came to the house in person, and Yang Yun had to put aside the matter of relocating immigrants from the Americas and come back to meet Zhang Jiuling.

"I didn't go to the Yamen for a few days in a row, what do you think? Do you want to rely on Li Gonu and become the second cow cyclamen? Zhang Jiuling came up and asked very unceremoniously.

probably thinks that Yang Yun is not down-to-earth, and he is always mixed with Li Linfu, and he has messed up his nature and wants to develop in the direction of traitors.

Zhang Jiuling is Zhang Jiuling, a self-proclaimed high-ranking person, and he doesn't have a good impression of an official like Yang Yun who is lucky enough to get in by relying on his crooked and evil skills, and he has never given Yang Yun a good look after marrying his granddaughter.

When he found out that Yang Yun was developing on what he thought was an evil path, he came to the door to question him with dissatisfaction.

Yang Yun didn't think that Zhang Jiuling was trying to pull him back to the "right path".

"Zhang Linggong, who is an outsider in the next place, has never wanted to involve matters in government affairs, since he became an official, he went to the Yushitai, and he responded several times before and after, and the contact was not a major event in the DPRK and China, so I went to the yamen every day to report, I couldn't do anything else except in a daze, it was too embarrassing...... Also, why did you suddenly say that I want to be a cow? I'm afraid I don't have that ability! ”

Yang Yun is authentic-for-tat.

In fact, there is nothing to hide, Zhang Jiuling must know that his relationship with Zhang Yu is very poor, and the so-called in-law relationship between the two is not strong.

Zhang Jiuling said with a dark face: "You are an outsider, and you have never been involved in court politics, but you can face the saint at any time, and Your Majesty will most likely ask about major matters, and your attitude is very important." ”

Yang Yun wanted to say, is this my problem? When the emperor encounters a problem, he doesn't ask the courtiers, but asks me, a Taoist priest, then you go and persuade the emperor, what do you persuade me to do?

"Now that you are a servant of the Chinese book, you will be more favored by Your Majesty in the future in the government, if you lose your nature and use the evil spirit, then you are not far from the evil itself!"

Zhang Jiuling said in an almost threatening tone.

Yang Yun suddenly wanted to laugh.

In the past, Zhang Jiuling taught him that he was old-fashioned and high-minded, but now that he has lost that momentum, his tone of voice is much calmer, obviously Zhang Jiuling also knows that with the rise of Yang Yun in the court, Zhang Jiuling can no longer give orders to Yang Yun casually like when he was the left minister.

Now Yang Yun is only one step away from Zhang Jiuling's official position, and the actual power, Yang Yun may be even older than him Zhang Jiuling, and the person who can threaten Gaolishi and Niu Xianke is not Zhang Jiuling, but Yang Yun.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Jiuling was unhappy and made a special trip to warn Yang Yun.

Yang Yun said: "I didn't lose my nature, but I had a lot of incomprehension about the court, and when I got familiar with it, I would naturally go to the yamen to answer the mao." In the future, if you encounter something you don't understand, you will ask Li Xilang for help......"

Zhang Jiuling interrupted Yang Yun's words and asked, "Why don't you come to ask the old man?" ”

Yang Yun wanted to say, the threshold of your house is so high, can I go in casually?

When the words came to his lips, he could only say more tactfully: "Zhang Linggong is busy with affairs, how can he have so much time to meet?" However, Li Xilang will often come to the door to discuss some things, especially this time His Majesty has made an exception for me, Li Xilang has been with me from beginning to end and has given me a lot of suggestions. ”

Zhang Jiuling was full of anger, he was not angry with Yang Yun now, but angry Li Linfu with ill intentions, and in order to win over Yang Yun, he did not hesitate to "surrender his identity" and get close to Yang Yun many times, and now Yang Yun has done his best to get close to Yang Yun after taking the position.

Yang Yun's words also made Zhang Jiuling understand the difference between him and Li Linfu, one of them was active and the other was passive, one was high at home and didn't even let the threshold enter, and the other came to discuss in a low voice.

It is impossible for anyone to be cheeky enough to accept Zhang Jiuling's so-called teaching, and not choose Li Linfu, a consultant who has no frame.

Yang Yun said again: "Now Your Majesty has appointed me as the Zhongshu Squire, but he has not given me the convenience of real court affairs, so Zhang Linggong does not have to worry about how His Majesty will value me, or think about how to take care of the government and politics...... You rest easy, you're just your lieutenant below. ”

Yang Yun has been a scholar for three days, and the news that the imperial court has given Yang Yun an official knighthood has been announced, but it has not given Yang Yun real power, which is true.

It's not that Li Longji didn't give it, but Gao Lishi is still trying to find a way to restrict Yang Yun, and in the case that Li Longji doesn't ask about the court, it's strange that Gao Lishi can give Yang Yun real power.

In addition, Zhang Jiuling originally had a prejudice against Yang Yun in Zhongshu, but now Zhang Jiuling is helping Gao Lishi, how can Yang Yun, who has no slightest foundation, live a good life in Zhongshu Province?

This is another reason why he didn't go to Yingmao.

It seems that the restrictions on Yang Yun are very in place, Gao Lishi, Niu Xianke and Zhang Jiuling have secretly formed an alliance to limit Yang Yun's development momentum in the court, but as long as Li Longji summons Yang Yun once, this blockade will be completely overturned.

Zhang Jiuling naturally knows the importance of Yang Yun in the DPRK now, Yang Yun is a key person who can break Gaolishi's monopoly on court affairs, and it is impossible to rely on Niu Xianke who has no opinions.

Zhang Jiuling said: "Now Your Majesty has not summoned courtiers for more than a month, and most of the affairs of the DPRK and China are monopolized by Gaolishi, don't you want to do something practical for Datang?" ”

The reason why Zhang Jiuling asked this was probably to make Yang Yun express his attitude and express his attitude of serving the Qingliu of the imperial court.

But who is Yang Yun, how can he not know Zhang Jiuling's flowery intestines?

If you want to do things for Qingliu, it doesn't mean that you will be controlled in the future, I can only say what you want to say to the emperor? And where can I be assertive?

And what Yang Yun wants to do now is the biggest traitor of the Tang Dynasty, he wants to reverse the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, continue to maintain the prosperous era, let Yang Yuhuan give birth to the crown prince, and let the increasingly dim Li Longji "feather and ascend to the immortal" as soon as possible, and the court will control him in the future.

In this way, Zhang Jiuling's stay in the court will become Yang Yun's biggest obstacle.

Now Zhang Jiuling is afraid that Yang Yun will become the second in Niu Xianke, but he doesn't know that Yang Yun wants to be a person with more power than Gao Lishi.

Yang Yun said: "I am very unfamiliar with court affairs, and I don't want to interfere with who monopolizes the government affairs, these things have nothing to do with me, please Zhang Linggong don't say more." ”

Yang Yun is no longer the original Wuxia Ameng, Yang Yun has never planned to form a party with Zhang Jiuling from the beginning, and his attitude has not changed until now, as for what Zhang Jiuling wants to do, Yang Yun doesn't want to care at all.

Anyway, the two of them went their own way, and there could be no more intersections, as for Zhang Yu's question, Yang Yun hadn't figured out how to accept it until now.

Zhang Jiuling faced Yang Yun's indifferent attitude, where was he embarrassed to continue?

He said with a dark face: "In this case, then you can do it yourself." ”

After speaking, Zhang Jiuling turned around and left.
